This is a frontal assault on social sciences research programs in higher education.

A disgusting use of marketplace rationalisation to weed out any chance of critical thinking not in alignment with market initiatives.

SC/ST education is at stake too ++

"The listed “closed” programmes include Emeritus Fellowship, Dr S. Radhakrishnan Post Doctoral Fellowship in Humanities and Social Sciences, Post Doctoral Fellowship to Women Candidates and Post Doctoral Fellowship to SC-ST Candidates."
The National Fellowship for Scheduled Caste students is also shown to have been discontinued in 2018-19.
Look at this catastrophic fall in funding Image
There were 559 beneficiaries during 2017-18. This now down to 169 for the previous year.
"The UGC has no funds for research. Actually, this government is not interested in real research, particularly in social science and humanities. It fears that the findings will not suit its narratives,”

In 1951, the world decided to legally protect itself from genocide. So they codified it into a document.

This document is called The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or Genocide Convention.

India is one of the 152 signatories

1/n
This convention is a response to the atrocities of the holocaust.

Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide in 1944 to describe Nazi policies in occupied Europe, and the Armenian Genocide campaigned for its recognition as a crime under international law.

2/n
The important thing is to focus on what makes genocide stoppable.

The convention is not a fact after an event. It asks us to recognise the "intentional effort to completely or partially destroy a group based on its nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion"

Muslim women knew it was going to happen again. And the state did nothing about it.

They filed cases for Sulli deals but no FIR had been registered.

New story from @BehanBox

Two brothers aged 28 and 31 have been raping their minor sister over a period of six years since she was 11.

She managed to speak up only when she was 17. Let that sink in.

google.com/amp/s/www.free…
She said that both would assault and verbally abuse her if she protested.

In March 2016, her eldest brother had punched her in the abdomen when she refused to satisfy his lust. She then decided to lodge a police complaint.
As per the complaint filed by the victim when she was a Class 12 student, she said the incidents started when she was 11 & in Class 5.

Her eldest brother, then 19, would touch her inappropriately, but she did not tell anyone about it as she did not understand what was happening.

Tripura violence background;

Religious fault lines in Tripura have been getting sharper due to political dynamics that have been developing in the state since the BJP took office in 2018.

1/n
google.com/amp/s/amp.scro…
A new element has been introduced into the equation by the attempts of the Trinamool Congress from neighbouring West Bengal to expand its footprint into Tripura.

2/n
Tripura’s Muslims, who form 9% of the population, are overwhelmingly Bengali speakers. They have not been in the limelight before because the conflict lines in the state have so far been between the Bengali Hindus and the indigenous tribal people.
